| Purpose: |
The
first workshop on gHigh Energy Earth Science: Muon and Neutrino
Radiographyh was held in Tokyo on June 26–27, 2008. The TokyoWorkshop
clearly showed that geophysics has now in hands a new, powerful
technique
for investigation. In particular, the applications of muon radiography
are likely to expand in the near future because of its unique imaging
capability and of the space resolution much higher than with
conventional techniques.
TheMU-RAYWorkshopwas held in Naples on
September 11–12, 2008. Driven by
the enthusiasm for a further development of the new technique and for
the extension of its applications, it took place only a few months
after the Tokyo Workshop.It has been its natural follow with the
purpose of extending the discussion on ongoing programmes and on future
projects. In particular, the attention has been on the design of new
detectors based on the experience gathered for Particle Physics and
suitable for muon radiography of volcanoes.
The
present workshop is devoted to addressing the main current issue in
this research area to form a research network aimed at fostering
scientific
collaboration on muon physics, neutrino physics and
geophysics. The project foresees a collaborative effort for the
development of an electronic detector of greater sensitivity for the
study of volcanoes.
